This would have to be I Drink Your Blood,originally known as Phobia,although it was released in 1971 I think.Just insane fun midnight movie,I really have a soft spot in my head for this one.Probably way more influential than anyone thinks...I'm glad I didn't see it before Grindhouse Releasing put out their Deluxe Edition,which has the uncut original director's cut."And together we'll all freak out!"

It's good to see another fellow fan of I Drink Your Blood.

It's one of my favourite low-budget trashy horror films from the '70s and is a riot from start to finish.

But, even though it's labelled as cheap exploitation, it still feels slick in both its style and execution. Also, the performances are very decent from a cast of relative unknowns.

The Grindhouse DVD is indeed superb (and one of my favourite DVD packages to date), and The Director's Cut is certainly the best way to view it; although I do prefer the more 'downbeat' ending.

Bird With The Crystal Plumage for me, a genre-defining masterpiece (even in Univision :P)

The Bird With The Crystal Plumage for sure. A masterpiece and Argento's second best film.

I thought I DRINK YOUR BLOOD was pretty rubbish, it's one of many horror/exploitation films that have a reputation they simply don't deserve IMO.

I'd rank it as one of my favourites of the decade. Each to their own, though matey.

With its very title, I Drink Your Blood, brings certain expectations to the party and, though it's a splendid piece of exploitation, it's not my favourite from 1970.

Is the UK Anchor Bay Mark of the Devil heavily cut, or nothing too bad really?

According to DVD Compare, the Anchor Bay release has 38 seconds of cuts and, overall, the R1 release is the best one out there.
